AClerer Ruse TO Catch a Thief.

a story, describing the unique plan
by which rogue was discovered among
the native troops of British India, is tod
by veteran English officer. A COM
plant was brought to him of theft
which had just been committed in the
barracks, to the perpetrator of which
there was not the slightest clew.
The next morning, on parade, the COL
onel passed along the line, giving 10
each man in turn thin strip of bamboo,
and when they all were supplied, he
said with solemn emphasis MY
men, there is a thief among you, and
Brahma has revealed to me a way of
detecting him. Come forward, one by
one. and give to me your bamboo chips.
and the guilty man, do what he may
will have the longest"
The soldiers, not little startled at
this mysterious threat, obeyed without
a word but. before the lirst dozen had
filed past, the colonel suddenly seized
one of them by the throat, and shouted ::
"You are the man -
The Hindoo fell upon his knees and
whined out confession of the theft,
while his terrified comrades salaamed 10
the ground before the dread Sahib to
whom Brahma had given such a terrible
power.
When they had dispersed, another Of
ficer, who had been looking on in silent
L.. E.T
would teach me that trick, colonel ?''
1T is very simple one," answered
the colonel, with a smile. You see
these bits of bamboo were all the same
length, but the thief, fearing to get
the. longest piece, bit off the end of his,
just as L expected he would, and that
Is how knew him."

Why Birds Sing.

The majority of OrnitholOgistS agree
in ascribing an erotic character to the
songs of birds not only tie melting
melodies, but also those of their tones
thai are discordant to the human ear,
are regarded as lOve-notes. Darwin
finally, saving some reveTses, came 10
accept this view. To be able 10 speak
critically of the love-song, one should
pay especial regard to the love-life OF
birds. 1t would be to throw water in
to the sea to add to what ornitholog-
ical writers have advanced concerning
the exceeding vital worth and cosmlcal
significance o. love. Nevertheless, L
venture the opinion that the origin of
the song habit is TO be found in other
sources as we'll as in this important fac
tor, among which is the JOY OF life,
manifested in an irresistible determine
tion to announce itself in melody and
that the song is more perfectly Brought
out in proportion as this feeling is more
highly developed in the organization.
Birds In freedom begin to sing long be-
fore pairing, and continue it, subject to
interruptions, long afterward, though
all passion has been extinguished and
domesticated birds sing through the
whole year without regard to breeding
time, though no female or companion
ever be in sight. Such birds, born in
captivity, never feel the loss of freedom,
and, il they are we'll taken care of. are
always hearty and in good spirits. The
bird sings, 10 large extent, for MS
own pleasure for he frequently lets
himself out Justify when he is all alone.
In the sprIng-time of love, when all life
is inyigorated, and the effort TO win a
mate by ardent wooing is crowned with
the joy Of triumph, the song reaches its
highest perfection. But the male bird
also sings to entertain his mate during
the aIduous nest building and Matching,
to cheer the young, and II he be do
mesticated bird, 10 give pleasure to his
lord and the providence that takes care
OF him, and in doing so to please him
self. Lastly, the bird sings-by habit,
as we call it-because the tendency is
innate in the organs OF song to exercise
themselves.

Keep A Cash Book.

Every fafmer should keep a cash
book. Let it be known that a merchant
keeps 10 books, and 3 Wholesale dealer
would at once refuse to credit Linn. 1
know that some fatmers think that a
piece OF chalk and the back of a cellar
door is all that is necessary in the way
Of farm accounts, but they are greatly
mistaken, and it is useless to say that
they are not acquainted with book keep
ing. ANY man who can write can keep
a cash book, any cheap memoranda book
will answer. On one page of the book
set down the amount of cash on hand,
and follow with everything sold, the
date of the sale and the sum received
FOR it. On the other side, put down all
the outgoing or expenditures. At any
time by adding up the two pages, you
can tell what cash you have in your
pocket book, and if there is any dIsa
greement, there must be- an error some
where. On other pages OF the book
could be recorded the contracts for Ia
Dor with workmen and any articles sold
on credit A farmer who keeps book
of this description will always know hi:
financial latitude, as the captain of 6
vessel does when at ses, and he will bs
less likely to run on shoals or get invol-
we'd among the breakers.

Advice TO Husbands.

Never talk in your sleep unless
YOU are sure what you are going to
say.
Don't be disseminated. II is much
easier to make your wife feel that
way.
Never tell your wife that she is a
charming singer unless you happen TO
be deaf.
Don't fatter yourself that you know
more than your wife until you have
got home from her funeral.
Don't be too friendly with your
prospective son-in-law. He may think
you intend 10 1--we with him after
he is married.
Don't try and fool your wife about
drinking unless you happen to marry
an idiot. Then it isn't worth while
to do so.
Never tell your your wife how much
better some other women dress unless
you have more money :han you know
what to do with.
Never boast to your wife about the
value of your past experience. Your
motheI-in-law may settle herself down
on you next week.
Never find fault with the quality
of your wife's cooking. You may pos
sibIy drive her to join some cooking
club, which would be much worse.

A NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT
In the Construction of Pianos.

Hitherto the greatest difficulty expert
enced by makers in all countries and periods
has been TO build an instrument that would
stand in tune any length of time, the princi-
pal drawback being the present and past
method of stringing, recognized by all prac-
teal men as most unsatisfactory. The tun-
ing pin being entirely dependent on thick
ness of woods called the pin block" or
''wrest plank" the impossibility of holding
the strings securely by the tuning pin set in
wood-the giving or slipping of the tuning
pins themselves, caused by the elastic wood
which holds them, ever changing with the
variation of temperature; hence continual
change in the tension of the strings, and de-
fective tones the result. To remedy these
defects various attempts have been made for
many years past without success. 1t was
reserved, however, to the MeSsrs. Mason &
Hamlin Organ and Piano Company to over
come all difficulties After much expert
menting they patented, in July, 1883, "a
method of fastening the strings to the iron
FRAME" which was fully described in the
Scientific american of Dec. q, 1884. The
strings are entirely carried by the solid iron
plate, without any dependence on wood the
consequence is that the liability of the piano
to fall in pitch or get out of tune is greatly
reduced; the tuning pin is entirely dispensed
with, and, no doubt, every good tuner will
see the advantage Of this system in the facil-
ity for tuning it.
A fine stock of these prime instruments
now on exhibition at Ludden & Bates South
